New Years 2004.. .

I have always wanted to go to First Night in St. Louis for new years, so this year I decided it was the year to do so. We arrived early in the evening to find crowds everywhere, the metro was packed, all the buses going to the park were packed with people, and so was Forest Park. Event planners had estimated that 20,000 would attend but boy were they wrong. Over 250,000 people showed up for the event!

A look at the art museum, with the fountains going in the foreground.

Fireworks at midnight, what else can I say!
